Frank Cho signs exclusive with Marvel


So maybe not specifically Supergirl news but Newsarama has an interview with Frank Cho about his re-upping his exclusive contract with Marvel. Here is the link:


Cho is 'deliberate in his pace' and is most famous for drawing bodacious women in various stages of undress. Still, I think his art is beautiful and have always wished he would work for DC. I have even wondered what his take on Supergirl would be.

Then I read this quote in the interview.

Frank Cho: My exclusive contract with Marvel ran out in March and Marvel was happy with my work on their characters, so they offered me another exclusive contract when the old contract ran out. It's funny, I was in talks with DC Comics to do a prestige Wonder Woman/Power Girl/Supergirl team-up mini-series which I was going to draw and co-write with my good friend Jimmy Palmiotti, but Marvel came around with an incredible offer that I couldn't refuse.

Now Jimmy Palmiotti wrote, in my opinion, the worst issue of Supergirl ever written in her near 40 yrs of existence ... the odious Supergirl 12.



So I don't think this mini-series project would make anyone forget Watchmen.
Still ....


Still ...



Still ....


Okay, that's enough.
Suffice it to say I would probably buy it just for the art. And hopefully this post will be the closest I get to the stereotypical fanboy lusting after super-heroines.

Still (guess it wasn't enough) ...


I have to say I am disappointed this project won't happen.
